Investigational Monoclonal Agonist Antibody REGN5381 Targets NPR1 Receptor to Regulate Vascular Tone and Treat Heart Failure
An investigational monoclonal agonist antibody REGN5381 targets the membrane-bound guanylate cyclase receptor NPR1 to induce active-like receptor conformation, resulting in hemodynamic effects that preferentially lower venous pressures to treat heart failure.
Vutrisiran, a Gene-Silencing Drug, Demonstrates Significant Reductions in Mortality and Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Transthyretin-Mediated Amyloidosis Cardiomyopathy
Vutrisiran, a gene-silencing drug, led to impressive reductions in all-cause death and recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), suggesting a new treatment option for this fatal disease.
